In the prophetic tradition of our faith, justice is a river that never stops. As Amos declared, “Let justice roll down like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” In this special Giving Tuesday event, two prophetic leaders will join in conversation about the never-ending movement for justice that extends from one generation to the next. In the 1980s, the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jr. coined the phrase “environmental racism” and helped lead protests that garnered the attention of the world to the struggle for environmental justice. More recently, Rep. Justin Pearson of Tennessee has been involved in protests that have challenged the status quo and awakened the conscience of the public in calling for common sense gun legislation. Before becoming a state representative, Pearson was an environmental justice leader in Memphis where he co-founded Memphis Community Against the Pipeline (MCAP), now known as Memphis Community Against Pollution.
